Nice job guys! Great place for vacationing or would be a good size for permanent living for a small family. 20 years off grid in a small cabin and never a regret. Freedom!
Do you still have to work a full-time job? I'm in the process of going off grid but I don't want to work for someone else anymore. I want the freedom. I enjoy creating/building/making things. I plan to try to live just by building a small workshop and selling things I make. Worst case I may have to work somewhere but that kinda defeats the purpose of moving off grid.

@@solarcabin nice. Once I sell my house I'll have enough to buy the chunk of woods I want, build a cabin, workshop, start a garden, build a chicken coop, install solar and all that good stuff without going into any debt. So basically I'll just need enough for my kids healthcare, small amount of food, taxes, and gasoline. I'll make it work one way or another lol I'm 35 so I figure I have some time but not any to waste!
I’m not sure how many TH-cam videos I’ve seen in my life, but this could be the most enjoyable on many different levels. I’m about to purchase 76 acres for our family to enjoy. This was awesome and inspirational. Fist bump from East TN!!!
@@Michigan_Backwoods Hello MB I'm also a Michigander nice to meet you! Great build loved watching your video. I was also interested in your very unique, space saving stair/ladder combo. I tried your link and it was a no go so I was wondering if you might be able to check out what the problem might be? I'll be starting my cabin soon and it would be of great help to me thank you and I hope your enjoying your cabin!!
Me either, all those are haters. I watched all these off grid videos and decided to build me a 3bedroom home in the island off grid and solar is pretty good.
... I commented earlier but, 4-got to mention.. you'll did a great job here & something to take much pride & sentimental.. & yur kid is a lucky son to have a father who'd do such a project let alone help financially or, even give the time.. the cost there is immeasurable. I wish my father would do such a project for myself.. however, I ain't gotta dad cool like you so, I'll do it myself.. I hope your kid don't take it for granted like many do these days.
Really lovely cabin and the bunk beds are a great idea especially if you have the loft space. Cheers for the informative video. You narrated it very well.
I eat sleep and breathe survival and self defense. Im in south central Louisiana....Cajun Country. I think you did a great job. Great video. Well presrnted. Enjoyed. Im an ex Army ranger now 63 years old. Im in the woods at least once a week for the last 32 years and I still do military hikes. I just completed 61 days out of my 19.8 lb backpack. Enjoyed the hell out of that. Have alligators and a few poisionous snakes where I go camping. Some of them become supper. Life is great. Thanks again........charles
Wow this is the best 20 minutes of my day. You approached this project with forethought and diligence, and together with your team created a thing of great beauty and utility. I admired your swing-up loft ladder, The time-lapse photograph and your narration were both illustrative and descriptive. Enjoy. it Thank you from Greg in rural Thailand.
One of the nicer little cabin builds that I've seen in awhile. Great job guys! Decent video and music selection. Really appreciate the laid-back narration it made it way more enjoyable. Looks like you've got yourselves a sweet lil spot in the woods to enjoy for a long time to come.
You pulled out all the stops. Impressed with your vented porch soffit. You are a great father and mentor. They will always remember this that you built for them and with them.
I know this isn’t a recent video but TH-cam just recommended it to me on my home page. You did an amazing job building this cabin. It’s honestly the best one I have come across here on TH-cam. You & the rest of your helpers should be very proud of it! It’s beautiful! I have fallen in love with it watching your video ☺️💕
I agree with Greg Summers. You made my day! Thank you for such easygoing documentation of this wonderful project! I will come back to this for reference for my own camp in da U.P.
One of the prettiest cabins that I have seen to date on TH-cam. Absolutely love the design and building material choices. Fantastic job. Projects like these become a huge challenge as we age.
Excellent editing and narration. It was a huge effort. Hauling all the equipment and materials in on the two-track deserves appreciation as well. Beautiful.
Perfect build with the larger roof on one side for porch roof and loft is genius . The build was beautifully done because it was built by the owners in genuine pride. Peace
05:34 - "You may notice that in several of the photos that there's scaffolding inside the cabin..." Good advice. Actually, _very_ good advice. One of my trauma surgeon colleagues recently reminded me that the LD50 for dying from falls is 10 feet - that means that for every 100 individuals who fall from a height of 10' or more, half of them will die as a result. It's great to have an amazing cabin like this to enjoy - the result of a huge amount of planning and hard work - but even better to live to enjoy it. Huge thanks for a really enjoyable video and lots of thoughtful comments and suggestions. Cheers, mate!
This is something special. Once I finish college and save up for a few years, I wanna build a cabin just like this. I'd probably need a bigger solar power system, because while I do love the outdoors, I also love my videogames. Lol Good job sir! You done did good.
Jordon........glad you liked the video! As for a more robust solar system so you can play video games.........leave them at home. The idea is to create a space to get AWAY from those luxuries, breath fresh air and enjoy nature. There is a time and place for them, I get it and respect your enjoyment of them..........but when you combine those modern comforts with an off grid cabin you essentially create an paradox (a "modern primitive" cabin). Binge the video games when you get home, absence makes the heart grow fonder..........
This was awesome to watch! I built a cabin with my grandfather last fall (17, turned 18 in november) and we manged to complete most of it in about 4 months. excited for spring to get more done at the cabin and this was awesome inspiration
Very nice, great job...respect. My wife and me visit Michigan last year in summer. We made a road trip through Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Canada and NY. In Michigan we stayed in Monroe, Perry, Standish, Bay City, Traverse City and much more...a beautiful country and the people are very friendly... Best regards and all the best for all of you from Germany, we will come for our second time in Michigan in summer 2021🇺🇸
Dear Sir, we here in lower Southern Michigan have some beautiful little towns and people for you to meet. My boyfriend calls me the local tour guide. I would be more than happy to show you the sights and sounds. We have Amish, Civil War memorials, Dunes and Lake Michigan stops. We have Dundee the home of General Custer and much more! My number when you come is 517-398-5795 and the name is The New York BagLady aka T♥️
Beautiful. I just got so nostalgic and ended up in tears. Your voice is so calming. First thought I had was. If this man can just read the Psalms and put it on TH-cam. Then when I got to the end of this fabulous video my heart leapt when you thanked God. My you and your family be blessed in Yeshua's Name. Amen.
I agree. One of my favorite DYI video's. Such a calming voice. Was that your 21 yr old in the video? My question is do you rent out so we can come up for deer season? My number is 5173985795...thanks. Look forward to hearing from you!
This is one of the most well thought out and implemented designs I have ever seen on here. And on top of that, you also did one of the most articulate and to the point narratives as well! Congratulations on a job well done. I hope you and your son, and family and friends get years of enjoyment out of your project!
All I can say is “WOW”. My daughter, son-in-law and grandkids moved last year from San Diego to Michigan (Grand Rapids area). Dreaming of building something like this on their property one day. ❤️
Wow, you thanked God. You gave Him credit for giving you the dream, then putting the motivation and the drive in your heart to get the project off the ground and to stay hard at it until it was finished. That's my paraphrase but that's what I got out of what you said. Love it! That means His purpose is in it and will be in it no matter what the future holds for it or you.
Super nice cabin! Really enjoyed watching the build process and listening to your reasons for making certain decisions. I hope you’re still enjoying it and will be for many years to come!
Thanks One idea on the floor would be to install cleats to the bottom of the floor joists and screw plywood sheets to them from topside then fill with insulation. Just a thought
When I built a SIP house with a buddy, we used what he called reverse board and batten, rough cut 1x8s with 1/4" plywood strips, 3" wide, behind them, with a 1" gap between boards. This left an airspace behind the boards to breathe. Looking at this project, we should've included something like the product he used, behind the boards at the base, to prevent critters and insects from getting up in that space.
Tom Lampros I don’t recall what the product is called but it’s a kind of like flashing but it is installed with a strip of flashing behind the house wrap and the siding sits on a shelf that has small weep holes small enough that spiders and creepy crawlers in but will move vapor or water. It really helps to vent siding.
I really like the build. Reminds me of the off-grid cabin my wife and I built over the last 3 years. Differences for sure but about the same idea. I like the Adirondack chair with part of the state of Michigan for the back rest. We haven't done any solar as we have very few areas that aren't shaded, but the wood stove is great. Nice job and cool you did it with your son.
I started to watch out of mild curiosity, and ended up watching the whole thing. Nicely done video, and an excellent cabin that I hope gives you many good years in return.
What a well thought out cabin; lovely detail work with the log furniture and trim! I’m sure your son and yourself will share this memory of working together on his idea. What a wonderful father you are to do this project with him. Your wife is a lucky lady! Blessings to you, Sir.
Buddy you did an AAA job on this cabin . I'm trying to find some land in Oklahoma and plans are to build a cabin like yours, and 2 tiny houses ,, later after the cabin,, for my son and my brother. Hope mine goes as well as your, again an absolutely beautiful job. P.s. mine is to live in full time.
WOW, I love the cabin. I could live in that permanently off grid. I've been pondering the idea of a off grid cabin to live in. I have property also in Northern Michigan and I can put the cabin approximately 2 miles out in the woods. You guys did a wonderful job on the cabin. It gave me some ideas for sure.

Putting spacers between the siding and house wrap is an excellent practice.
When I built a SIP house with a buddy, we used what he called reverse board and batten, rough cut 1x8s with 1/4" plywood strips, 3" wide, behind them, with a 1" gap between boards. This left an airspace behind the boards to breathe.

It really helps to vent siding.
Thanks. Please post the product name if you recall. I'm looking at a similar design for a small (tiny) home.
I thought the tyvek house wrap served the purpose of letting it breathe? I'm not an expert, so please let me know
@@gradyogrady right, the tyvek lets the house breathe.
